Ledcor Contributes Over $24 Million to More Than 150 Charities Across North America

February 12, 2016

For over 65 years, Ledcor and our employees have been committed to supporting the local communities where we do business by investing dollars, sharing expertise, and providing skills training. Our goal is to leave a positive legacy in everything we do - socially, environmentally, and financially.

Embedded in our culture is the 'Ledcor Cares' spirit – a desire to assist others in need and to help move our communities forward by coming together for organizations that have a place in our hearts.

Over the past 10 years, Ledcor has contributed over $24 million to more than 150 charities across North America, with a key focus on children’s health and increasing access to post-secondary and trades education.

Our employees continue to be the driving force behind many of our community efforts, including support for our annual employee campaign which raised over $1.2 million for over 95 charities in 27 locations across North America.

These dollars provide important resources to:

24 pediatric hospitals from San Diego to Edmonton and Hawaii to Newfoundland, ensuring the best possible care for sick and injured children

13 Make a Wish chapters who grant wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy

42 United Way chapters who provide front-line services for children, families, and seniors with a hand-up not a hand-out

Various organizations specializing in causes such as Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Crohn’s and Colitis, and Autism

Many local charities such as Covenant House, Little Warriors, Youth Empowerment and Support Services, Canuck Place, and Nevada Blind Children’s Foundation

Ledcor continues to be a strong supporter of BC Children's Hospital, donating over $7 million to date, including a $5 million gift to name the emergency department at the new BC Children’s Hospital which will open in 2017.

We also support the industries where we do business through investment in professional development, sustainability, training, and sponsorship, as well as providing scholarships to skilled trades programs and funding important industry research such as the establishment of the Ledcor Group Applied Research Chair in Oil Sands Environmental Sustainability at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) and the University of Alberta Ledcor Professor in Construction Engineering.
